From the Philippine News Agency (Apr 20): 2 freed soldiers given more time with family to recover from trauma
The 10th Infantry Division is giving the two soldiers released by the New People’s Army (NPA) more time with their families to help them recover from physical and psychological trauma.
Capt. Rhyan Batchar, 10th ID spokesperson, said they are glad that the NPA "has come to their senses and decided to release the two abducted soldiers."
Batchar noted the communist rebels "treacherously" abducted Sgt Solaiman Calocop and Pfc Samuel Garay of the 39th Infantry Battalion last February 2 while the peace talks were ongoing and the unilateral ceasefires still in effect.Batchar said the released soldiers were immediately brought to the Matanao municipal hall and presented to Mayor Vincent Fernandez.
The two were later brought to Camp Panacan Station Hospital in Davao City for physical and medical evaluation and debriefing, he added.
